popup balloon on saving email attachments

[vonClausowitz]

What I'm doing is the following:

I created an Initialize Handler which is called when the application
is startup.
I created also an WithEvents MyInboxMailItem as Outlook.Items
now I use the MyInboxMailItem_ItemAdd function to call the function
RETRIEVE_MAIL

RETRIEVE_MAIL scans my inbox for specific messages and senders.
When it finds them the attachments of the messages will be copied to a
windows folder and the messages
moved to another outlook folder.

What I want is to have a popup balloon (like the new email thing) that
disappears after so many secs
that attachments have been saved. That should be possible shouldn't
it?

Create a form using whatever development platform you are using and set up a
timer control that when it fires you close the form window.

How do you do this in Outlook?

It has nothing to do with Outlook. It depends on your development platform.

For VBA you'd use a VBA UserForm, for .NET code you'd use a Windows Form,
for unmanaged code you'd use a form provided by your development
environment.

You'd show the form when you want, set a timer control to fire after an
interval you select, and when the timer fires you close your form.
